Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a therizinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a therizinosaurus.
It’s an easy tame. 3x2x3 stone trap with stone door frames. Ramps from the top. It chases you in, you run out the open door frame. It’s stuck, you win.
Bring a bola, a tribemate and LOTS of tranqs... Bola tribemate and get onto a rock, shoot tickle chicken till it naps ;)
Soothing balm can be good to help tame it
ITS A VEGAN WHATZ THE (H.E Double hockey stick) IS THIS WHAT THE FLUFF
To the person who said you don’t want to make narcotics… sorry to say is that you MUST have to have some sort of bio toxin or narcotics. I found this the hard way. Btw you should definitely use soothing balm on this guy if you don’t want to make kibble
Just Get the high grounds and you won't get hurt by it while taming or trying to put holes on it
Trapping the therizinosaurus Is the best way to tame the dino
U can use this giant chicken for gathering fiber and thatch with its 2nd attack and wood with its main attack meat and hide but if u only have 20 mins on ark I feel like u should use soothing balm to tame it
Definitely build a trap for the theri it is way way to hard to do it any other way
All I did was made a stone structure of 2x4 made stone walls 2 walls high agroed it got it in the trap left it there for 2 in game days came back knocked it all it's hunger was down so it tamed immediately with some rocky karrats
I decided to try and tame one for my tribe. I set a one door frame high trap. Anyone who's tamed one of these already knows my first mistake. Second mistake: I used a bow with tranq arrows, not even a crossbow. I somehow managed to knock it out after 15 minutes of tranqing. Please learn from my mistakes and never even attempt to try this method
The worst way to do this is to shoot it run and turn around don't do this under any circumstances just run run ruuuuuuuuunnn
If you find a decent lvl theri, you should consider taking it. I found a lvl 13 ish a little while ago, and it’s now a lvl 66. These things can bear the living crap out of alphas, and can harvest tons of wood, berries and fiber. I tamed mine with a fast high lvl raptor, and some tranq arrows. Pretty easy tame if u know what your doing.
I don’t take any chances with a Theri…trap it in a stone box…
2x2 stone foundation.
16 stone doorways…..and a ramp for it to rampage up and fall in. Build your trap somewhere safe…..or as safe as possible because you’re going to be here a while.
Use a flyer that can take a few hits and lure the beast up the ramp. Once trapped get to knocking it out.
That was the easy bit…
Keeping a Theri asleep is a marathon.
You can pre-prepare a bunch of narcotics but I find it best to simply bring along a gatherer in a cryopod ready to go berry picking. A Moschops is good as it can usually fight off pests…they are also very quick at helping you construct a temporary shelter to bolt on to your trap as taming a Theri will often take you well into the night and hypothermia is a thing.
Use batches of 100 Narcoberries to keep the Theri asleep.
Once tamed you’ll have an epic mount. Their harvesting skills are already well documented on here so I’ll provide another interesting detail…
…almost all other creatures are scared of them and will not openly attack you, this includes two of the most annoying creatures in the game…..Kapros and Microraptors! This makes swamps significantly safer as Sarco/Baryonyx and Boa will ignore you as well.
Make sure you take narcotic and narco berries also do not underestimate It it can wake up fast
Two by two stone box works well for trapping it.
Step 1: find a big rock, a tall cliff or build a birdcage trap
Step 2: Use a longneck, crossbow or compound bow (longneck > compound bow > crossbow) and shot it 1 per 5 sec
Step 3:put food in his/her inventory (only recommend kibble and smoothing plaim if you on mobile)
Step 4: feed it 15 narcotic every time the unconscious bar was in half
Step 5: enjoy your alpha dodo

These creatures are beasts they can kill spinosaurus, Rexes, and allos. They are strong and can kill almost anything. They are great tames and great at gathering. I think they should shed their claws when tamed
2x2 Stone trap, tranq until it is scared and tried to run from you, sleep, now knock it, give lots of berries: Congratulations, you tamed it in a seconds
This is a must know tips for faster taming on these clawed beast (Or help my comment crawl to the top)
